Default tints or fishbowl?

I have a 1.8 santorin (i think thats what its called) blue a4, and right now its a nice ol' fishbowl. i cant decide whether the tints will look nice or not, can i get some opinions? and if someone could post a pic of a tinted blue b5 i would appreciate it heavily.

Looks ten times better tinted out. But if you are building a fast track car then your wastin your money. Not allowed.

IMO 35% looks great - I'm a fan of moderately smoked windows, not blacked out. I had 20% on my Z and wouldn't go darker than that. 35% is what I'll do on this car though.

Where in NY are you?
